The governorship candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has revealed why he lost to incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Rhodes-Vivour, in a post on X on Monday, said violence was the greatest factor that led to his loss in the election.

“When you have normalized violence against a group of people, eventually that violence should meet you. You look at what happened in the State Assembly where a majority, more than 90% of them, decided that they wanted someone else to speak on their behalf, to represent them, and they went through the entire process.
